Cruise Control

Cruise Control Buttons

General Functionality

With cruise control, a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).

If the Traction Control/electronic stability control system begins to limit wheel spin while using cruise control, the cruise control automatically disengages. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control. If a collision alert occurs when cruise control is activated, cruise control is disengaged. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System. When road
conditions allow cruise control to be safely used, it can be turned back on.


Cruise control will disengage if either TCS or StabiliTrak is turned off.

​If the brakes are applied, cruise control disengages.

Press Cruise Control Button to turn the system on and off. A white indicator appears in the instrument cluster when cruise is turned on.


If there is a set speed in memory, press RES+ briefly to resume to that speed or press and hold to accelerate.


Press SET- briefly to set the speed and activate cruise control.

If the cruise control is already active, use SET- to decrease vehicle speed:

​Setting Cruise Control:

  1. Press Cruise Control On Button

  2. Get up to the desired speed.

  3. Press and release SET−. The desired set speed briefly appears in the instrument cluster.

  4. Remove your foot from the accelerator.

When the cruise control has been set to the desired speed, a green cruise control indicator appears on the instrument cluster and a cruise set speed message appears on the Head-Up Display (HUD), if equipped.

If Cruise Control button is on when not in use, SET− or RES+ could get pressed and go into cruise when not desired. Keep Cruise Control Button off when cruise is not being used.

Resuming a Set Speed

If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied or Cruise Control Disengage button is pressed, the cruise control is disengaged without erasing the set speed from memory.

Once the vehicle speed reaches about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, press RES+ briefly. The vehicle returns to the previous set speed.

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is already activated:

The speedometer reading can be displayed in either English or metric units.
See Instrument Cluster (Base Level) or Instrument Cluster (Uplevel). The increment value used depends on the units displayed.

​Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is already activated:

The cruise control system may automatically brake to slow the vehicle down.

​Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control

Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the previous set cruise speed.

While pressing the accelerator pedal or shortly following the release to override cruise, briefly applying SET− will result in cruise set to the current vehicle speed.

​Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control will work on hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the  hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, the cruise control system may automatically brake to slow the vehicle down. Also, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. If the brake pedal is applied, cruise control disengages.

Ending Cruise Control

There are four ways to end cruise control:

  1. Step lightly on the brake pedal.

  2. Press Cruise Control Disengage Button

  3. Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).

  4. Press Cruise Control Off Button

Erasing Speed Memory

​The cruise control set speed is erased from memory if Cruise Control Off button is pressed or if the ignition is turned off.
